More specifically, the object of theinven tion is to constructthe device so'that it can be economically manufactured. To this piece of wire or rod. 1

By. referring to F igure 4, itjwill be seen 'thatif it is desired to secure the ends 9 With out forming a handle or arm, the same may be done. by causing the extreme ends 13 to be seen by driving the nail or turning" down v I v I the screw, this will cause the central "up-1 .turnedand outwardly extending converted 3 against a wall or article to which the de- 1 vice is attached, thereby exerting an. inward I beplaced, so as'to be positioned end to end and then Welded, at welding point 14.

Having thus described my invention,

what I claim' is:-'

1, In a device offlthe class described, a clip'forme'd of a single piece of Wire or rod having a horizontalfbase member, 1 a

central upturned and outwardly extending" inverted U-shaped tension member, turns formed so as to provide upwardly extending arms positioned directly back of the horizontal base member, inclined sections formed at theupper ends of the said up? i I wardly extending larms, an upper bar formed by bending: the wire inwardly so as] to be parallelwith the horizontal base mem- 95 viceby eliminating the upperbar 8 by cut- 1 ber, upwardly and outwardly bent ends secured together by means of Welding, sub 'stantially as described for the purpose set forth.
